IRS Wednesday Golf
League Newsletter
Week
9 – June 13, 2018
Reminder
that 2nd half green fees/dues are due by June 27. Pouches will be in the briefcase this coming
week to put remittance in. Make checks
payable to IRS Golf League.
For
the skeptics on delays due to the road construction on 275: It only took Mr. Fredrickson a long time to
get to the course (at his age he was driving as fast as 5 mph). On the Kentucky side they put in a lane
switch in the medium, so they will soon be changing lane directions. Mr. Kiff expects this to happen around July 4th. From the Kentucky side going into Ohio the
bridge is already down to two lanes, so the accidents should be coming soon.
Subs
this week were: Jim Conrady (Team
Leirey) and Mike Schwarberg (Team Kientz). Thanks for being there.
Division Standings
(Final play between Division A vs. Division C; Division B vs. Division D):
Division A has no change is positions as Team Anderson (#3 Seed) is still in the lead followed by Team Bramlage, Team Kientz, and Team Leirey. (1st to 4th now separated by 83.0 points.)
Division B has Team Slye (#4
Seed) taking the lead away from Team Kiffmeyer while Team Vaughn moves up to 3rd
as Team Harms falls to 4th. (63.0
points separate 1st to 4th.)
Division C has no changes
with Team Schumacher (#1 Seed) (and 1st Team to break 500) still in
the lead, followed by Team Flynn (#5 Seed), Team Halpin (falling fast), and
Team Pfeiffer (another win). (172 points
separate 1st to 4th.)
Division D has Team Freeman (#2
Seed) still firmly holding their lead, followed by Team Buescher (#6 Seed),
Team Breen, and Team Patmann. (Now 96.5 points
separate 1st to 4th.)
Next
week starts Division A vs Division D, and Division B vs Division C play.
Status of the Almighty Fork:
In Week 8 I had Team
Leirey, Team Patmann, Team Pfeiffer, and Team Vaughn on the verge of being
Forked and they all managed to bring in a win to keep the Fork away from them
for at least another week. Now being
added to the almost Forked is Team Harms, Team Halpin, and Team Breen. Next week will see a team Forked. (Who will it be!!!).

League President (Col.
Tom Schumacher) Questions for the Weak.
(Col. Tom had the
following questions on Military History.)
(All questions were either True or False.) Answer are below.
There
were only 5 who responsed to the questions with no one getting all questions
correct. Jim Bramlage managed to get 6
correct, while the others that responded got 5 correct.
Question #1 –
President Theodore Roosevelt was the only U.S. President to be awarded the
Medal of Honor.
·
True. President Roosevelt was awarded the Medal of
Honor for his service as a U.S. Army Colonel in the Spanish-American War. He is the only U.S. President to ever receive
this honor.
Question #2 – The
head of the eagle on the Navy’s emblem has always been turned to the
right.
·
False. Until 1941, the eagle on the Navy crest had
faced left. It was changed in accordance
with heraldic tradition in which the right side represents honor and the left
dishonor.
Question #3 – The
U.S. formed an aeronautical division (a precursor to today’s Air Force) only
three and a half years after the Wright brothers flew the world’s first
airplane at Kitty Hawk in 1903.
·
True. The U.S. Army Signal Corps created an
aeronautical division on August 1, 1907.
This later became the Air Force we know today.
Question #4 – The
line in the Marines’ Hymn “From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of
Tripoli” refers to the Battle of Derne in 1805.
The Marines have not returned to Tripoli since.
·
False. In 2011, Marine troops returned to Tripoli in order to prevent Muammar Gaddafi’s forces from performing
air strikes on Libyan rebels. This
mission was named Operation Odyssey Dawn.
Question #5 – The
U.S.S. Triton SSRN-586 became the first vessel to make a complete submerged
circumnavigation of the world.
·
True. In 1960, the U.S.S. Triton SSRN-586, powered
by two nuclear reactors, completed the first submerged trip around the globe.
Question #6 – The
U.S. Army was the branch of the military first assigned the task of exploring
and mapping the United States.
·
True. The Lewis and Clark Expedition was organized
by the United States Army.
Question #7 – In
1868, the famous Eagle Globe Anchor insignia became the official emblem of the
U.S. Marines.
·
False. Since 1868, the Eagle Globe Anchor insignia
has been part of the Marines’ uniforms, but didn’t
become their official emblem until 1955.
Question #8 –
Armed Forces memorabilia is more popular now than ever.
·
True. There are over 20 million veterans living in
the U.S. today, and an unprecedented number of enthusiasts who show their pride
through memorabilia, apparel, and jewelry.
Heard in the Clubhouse:
·
Word
has it that Jim Hill has been spending too much time in the gym. Or has he been taking too much steroids. He hit his tee shot on #5 so hard that his
clubhead separated from the shaft…Callaway 9 iron. In a separate incident – Jim Hill hit the secretary
on the putting green, witnessed by John Freeman. John Freeman recommend the secretary find a
good lawyer, we couldn’t find any on the putting green.
·
Chris
Kerns collecting Kelly Johnson prior weeks winnings: “Kelly won more in one
week than I won total in 2 years.”
·
One
of our female golfers (no name mentioned here): “I don’t like playing with
men’s balls.” Secretary got clarification on this: golf balls?
